Mac Forum / Applications / Internet Explorer / November 2006IE7 for PC
This group would be dead if PC users didn't write about their issues and Randall didn't reply. There's nothing else in this group: only PC users posts and Randall's funny pricky comments :) Anybody knows if Microsoft is going to port any of the further IE versions on Mac? > This group would be dead if PC users didn't write about their issues and > Randall didn't reply.

The minute that Apple announced Safari, IE for the Mac died. > This group would be dead if PC users didn't write about their issues and > Randall didn't reply. ... It's logical for this group to be dying... those still using IE have learned to live with its shortcomings or they've moved on to other browser technology > ... Anybody knows if Microsoft is going to port any of the further IE > versions on Mac? I'm not a techno-prophet, but I don't see Microsoft bringing IE back to the Mac world. On their remaining IE page on Mactopia, they suggest that former IE users move on to other browsing technology. Sounds pretty firm to me that they have no intention of bringing it back. Besides, if the recent posts from Windows users regarding IE 7 are any indication, I'm not sure how many Mac users would put up with the glitches before moving on to another browser that works 99%+ of the time. :) Steve > > ...

Sounds pretty firm > to me that they have no intention of bringing it back. You don't have to be a techno-prophet. MS has officially announced that they were giving up on IE for Mac. There will not be any new version of IE for us (or WMP for that matter). The application is offically dead on our platform. > Besides, if the recent posts from Windows users regarding IE 7 are any > indication, I'm not sure how many Mac users would put up with the > glitches before moving on to another browser that works 99%+ of the time. I still have IE on my Mac and I use it from time to time. It's the only browser we have that has *some* Active-X support. Some site require Active-X and that's why I kept IE. IE is not my default browser though, OmniWeb is. There are ActiveX enabling add-ons for FireFox, but they don't run on MacOS X.

That's interesting that you have found some success with IE for Mac's ActiveX support. The web sites requiring ActiveX support that I frequent seem not to work with the limited support in IE for Mac. Perhaps, like Windows Media, there are different versions of ActiveX (I'm not a web developer, so I know little on these type of things). I did try some of those Firefox ActiveX add-ons, but like the IE for Mac support, they didn't work on the sites I visit. Oh well, there's always VPC... > That's interesting that you have found some success with IE for Mac's > ActiveX support.

The site you are trying to use might simply use unsupported commands :-\ > I did try some of those Firefox ActiveX add-ons, but like the IE for Mac > support, they didn't work on the sites I visit.
